An order of Council has pafled, that the number of midftupmen fhould be doubled on board tevery King's (hip. An additional Lieutenant is Ekewife to be appointed to every fixth-rate veflel, lb. that on board thofe veffels where there ufed to be enly one, there will now be two Lieutenants. The reafon of this regulation is faid to arife from the number of young men entering into foreign fervices, becaufe there was not fufficient encouragement at home. Prince William Frederick, youngeft fon of the Prince Stadtholder, is on his departure from the Hague to Berlin, from whence he will go to the Court df B'runfwick, and return in Augtifr. or September with his Highnefs the Hereditary Prince of Brunfwick Wolfenbuttel, the contracted feufband of the daughter of the Stadtholder. Letters from Conftantinople fay, that the hopes they had entertained that the negotiations for a p;ace were carrying on at Jafly were vain, the Grand Signior having declared that he will try a third campaign. The command of his armies has been enrrufted to the Pacha of Aleppo, Prince Maurojeni, and the Pacha of Travenick ; iome Serafkiers and Pachas will command detached corps under them. According to the above letters a fecond divi-fion of the Turkilh fleet had failed on a cruize to thie Archipelago. Letters from Constantinople mentign^that Jufuf Pacha, who was Grand Vizier in the campaign of 1788, and fihce Serafkier of Kmael, is again appointed Grand Vizier, to fucceed the old Captain Pacha, who has reiigned. A letter from Constantinople, dated February 4, received from on board the (hip Lightning, Nicholas Frederickfoni Cominander, recites, that they had met with tremendous gales of wind 12 leagues from the faid place, wherein a number of French and Turkifti mips had been loft; that the froft was fo intenfe> accompanied with fnow and fleet, as to occafioh the clew garnets and bowlings to be cafed over the frze of the flirouds; the jacks and meets as large as the cables; head-rails and ariehor-ftbeks became one folid rriafs of ice; the fails fo frozen that they could neither be clued up or handed either by tackles or any contrivance whatever. This is looked upon as very �xtraordinary in thofe climates, more particularly coandering the late feafon proved fd remarkably tnild, according to the feveral accounts received of the Northern parts of the Baltick having been open the whole winter. The King of Sweden has confirmed the fentence of the court-martial againil General' Baron de Sprengportenj for going over to the Ruffians* and Be is to be beheaded, when he falls into the harids of the Swedes. Thurlday laft his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland* attended by the Commiflioners of the Board of Works,the Commiflioners for making wide and convenient ftreets* and the Commiflioners for paving cleanfing, and lighting, all habited in Ma-fohic uniforms, aiid efcOrted by the regiments of horfe in garnlon* proceeded, at nine o'clock, from Dublin Caftlei to Ifland-bridge, where his Excellency laid the firit ftone of the new bridge to b* erected there. Frdm thence they proceeded tft the foundation of the ne'w bridge, near jhe Lower Ferry, of which his Excellency alfo laid the firft itone, when the great iron boom was thrown acrofs the river, -in order to prevent the interruption of (hipping to the work. The con-tlufion was announced by fignal-rockets, which were anfwered by three rounds from the Salute-battery in the Phcenix park, and as many vollies from the troots tn garrifbn. The Hungarian Chancery has iflued notices, that all notes and^bjlls, bearing intereft (the payment of which had had a temporary ftftppage), will' be paid in June next, and the interelt continued in full credit. Preparations for the celebration of the enfuing muficed feftival in Weflrhinfter-Abbey will begin makitg before the expiration of the month. The building will be larger than at cither of the former meetings, is well the performers as the auditory part. The Bahama Gazette of January 5, fays* * A French, fhip, homeward - bound, is call away among the Windward Keys." Lachlan M'Tavifli, Efq; is appointed Snr-veyor of the Window Duties in Scotland, in tlie room of the late Mr. Jnnes> deceafed. On Saturday the Rev. Mr. Peters reflgned his feat in the Royal Academy. It is faid he conceives it in fome meafure inconfiltent with the dignity and ferioufnefs of his clericalfuncUon. A Temple of the Doric Order is building by Lord Shrewsbury at Shooter's Hill.-He intends it for his Archery, and it will be very beautiful. Mr. Taylor's beautiful villa, erefting near Ewell, promifes, when finimed, to be amongft the ruris delttitt of Surrey. A fmall houfe is eredling in the charming vale of Clwyd, for the temporary refidence of Mr. and Mrs. Piozzi;-there they mean to fpend the enfuing fuftlmer. Mr^Qukk laft night played Richard ; and if he did not prove himfelf to be a good tragedian, he was found to be a good politician, for he drew a full houfe. The heat at Edinburgh, by Fahrenheit's thermometer, has been about eight degrees and a half greater every day, upon an average, at eight o'clock in the morning and evening, in March, 1790, than in Match, 1789. A fox, hard purfued by Mr. Scudamore's hounds into a garden,- feeing a window of the houfe open, leapt into the bedchamber, where he hid himfelf under the bed cloaths. The following laughable incident lately happened in this city.-A footman being discharged from a gentleman's fervice, who had a very hand-fome daughter, the footman, forfooth, took it into his wife head, that he was the objeft of the lady's love, and in confequence wrote her a love letter in a very prefling ftyle, and concluded by telling her he would call in the evening. The lady, who had not the molt diftant regard for the fellow, was furprifed at his impudence, and immediately fhewed the letter to her father. The father having two or three gentlemen dining with him, imparted to them the itory, and it was agreed "that each mould provide himfelf with a horfe-whip. At the hour appointed the lover came, and being (hewn into a room, underwent fuch a found correction, as in all probability will prevent him from ever taking it into his noddle to write love letters to ladies of rank or fortune. / A curious circumftance occurred at the affixes for Surrey in fwearing a witnefs, who was a Jew. A book was produced by the Cryer for an Hebrew Bible, and which the Jew affirmed to be one ; but, on examination by a learned gentleman, then fortunately in Court, it proved to be nothing more than a Jenv Prayer Book, with fome portions of the Bible. On fuch a book jews will /wear faljely, and not call it perjury ; if, therein fore, Courts of Juftice wifti to get the truth from Jertr tvimeffes, they flwmld order their Cryer to provide himfelf with a genuine Hebrew Bible. A boy, fourteen years of age, was called as a witnefs, who feemed to have no idea of the nature of an oath, and whofe mind had been fo neglected, that he had never been taught by his parents fo much as the Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments. Thefe inftances evince the neceflity of Sunday-Schools, and an univerfal attention to the education of the children of the poor. Many of thefe begin early the career of vice/*becaufe no care has been taken to lead thein to virtue. We may hang or tmnfport to Botany Bay old offenders, but it is idle to think of reclaiming them. A general reformation of manners mult begin in a reformation of children. One perfon (John Powell) vVas convicted of bigamy. A fire lately broke oht, about five in the morning, in the flour�mill at Waterfprd, about three miles on the other fide Hertford, which in little more than two hours entirely confumed the mill, (tables, warehoufes, &c. together with grain, nteal, and other property, to a- large amount. Mr. Geare, foreman of the mill, and matter of a public houfe nearly adjoining, the only dwelling within a mile of the fpot where the accident hap pened, had nearly loft his life in an ineffectual attempt to fave his employer's books ; for he was fo near being fufibcated, that he was dragged out by his own fon, not fo much as a minute before the whole roof fell in, being in a Hate of total infenfibility. However in a fhort time after being in the air, Mr. Geare recovered.
